National Milk Day 2023: Expert sheds light on the surprising health impact of drinking milk before bed

It's worth noting that these concerns may not apply universally, and many individuals find drinking milk before bedtime to be a comforting and healthy.

Some of us may think that the nightly ritual of consuming milk before bedtime is healthy. However, experts caution that this practice could lead to indigestion, particularly in individuals aged 30 and above.
California based gastroenterologist Dr. Palaniappan Manickam explained why drinking milk before bedtime is not as healthy as we think for people above 30.
Dr. Manickam says that once people turn 30, they may not have enough of an enzyme called lactase. This enzyme helps break down the lactose in milk. Without enough lactase, some people might find it hard to digest milk, leading to stomach issues like indigestion. In simpler terms, when we're kids, our bodies have a lot of lactase to digest milk easily, but as we grow older, especially after 30, we may not have as much, making it harder to digest milk.
Although some experts believe that the potential concerns with drinking milk before bedtime are multifaceted and can vary among individuals.
<h3>Here are few other reasons why it might not be as healthy as commonly thought:</h3>
Digestive Discomfort: Some individuals may experience digestive issues, such as bloating or discomfort, due to lactose intolerance or difficulty digesting dairy products, especially when consumed close to bedtime.
Caloric Intake: Milk contains calories, and consuming it right before bed could contribute to an excess of calories if not accounted for in the overall daily diet. This may be a consideration for those watching their caloric intake.
Dental Health: Drinking milk before bedtime without proper oral hygiene can contribute to tooth decay. Lactose, a sugar present in milk, can promote bacterial growth if teeth are not cleaned before sleep.
Disruption of Sleep for Some: While some people find warm milk soothing and a natural sleep aid, others may experience discomfort or disrupted sleep due to digestive issues, particularly if they are lactose intolerant.
Individual Variability: People's bodies react differently to food and drink, and what works well for one person may not be suitable for another. It's important to consider individual tolerance and preferences.

Is the new infection outbreak in China also a danger for India? Dr. Venkat Ramesh explains

In an exclusive discussion with Editorji, Dr. Venkat Ramesh, Infectious Disease Physician, Apollo Hyderabad explains about the infection outbreak in China.

The World Health Organisation has issued a statement on X regarding an unexpected rise in respiratory issues among Chinese individuals. It mentions that WHO has made an official request to China for detailed information on an increase in respiratory illnesses and reported clusters of pneumonia in children.
In an exclusive discussion with Editorji, Dr. Venkat Ramesh, Infectious Disease Physician, Apollo Hyderabad sheds light on what the disease is and if at all it is dangerous to India.&nbsp;
According him, "There has been an increase in respiratory infections among children and teachers in China because of which schools have been closed. The cause of the infection is still not known. The WHO is still working with the Chinese authorities and trying to determine the cause."
He also added that one possible suspect is a bacteria called micro plasma pneumonia which might cause respiratory infections and outbreaks. Though it is unclear whether it is a new respiratory virus or it is an existing pathogen. It is too early to say what it's effect on India would be.&nbsp;
However, unless WHO reports a new pathogen, we should not worry. It is likely that it is just an unusual surge of respiratory infections because it is occurring in winters and that happens in the Northern hemisphere at this time. There is also a remote possibility that it could be new virus but there's nothing to worry about it. If it is something alarming, it would surely come to our notice quite early because of our earlier experience with SARS-CoV-2 and the entire world being on high alert, Dr. Ramesh concluded.

Expert shares tips on how many warm clothes you should cover your baby with during winters

It's essential to strike a balance, avoiding overheating or excessive chilling. Additionally, individual preferences and the baby's activity level can influence how many layers they need.

Generally, the number of warm clothes a baby needs depends on various factors such as the ambient temperature, the baby's age, and individual preferences. &nbsp;
However, parents often get confused about how many layers of clothes they should cover their babies with during the winters. Pediatrician Dr. Santosh has cleared this confusion on Instagram. According to the doctor, to protect the baby from cold, covering them with only one extra layer of clothes than the number of layers you are wearing is enough. According to him, if you dress your baby in extra clothes than required, it can make them feel uncomfortable. So, just dress your baby in one extra layer than yourself.&nbsp;
Besides this you must keep a few things in mind to protect your baby from cold temperature your baby is in. Pay attention to the room temperature. If it's colder, add an extra layer. If the room is warm, you may need fewer layers.&nbsp;
Sleep sacks or wearable blankets are safe alternatives to loose blankets. They keep the baby warm without the risk of covering their face.

Most Indian parents sleep with their baby. Know what science says about the practice 

There are many scientific studies about co-sleeping with your baby but it is a cultural thing and parents must consult their doctor before taking any decision.

Indian parents especially mothers often practice co-sleeping with their babies, a cultural norm. While some studies suggest potential benefits like enhanced bonding, some research says it is not necessary. &nbsp;
There are two ways parents might sleep with their baby: sharing the same bed (on a shared surface) or being in the same room but not the same bed. A recent Canadian study has found that about a third of moms share the same surface with their baby, while 40 percent never do. Another study in Quebec in the late 1990s showed that one-third of moms sleep in the same room.&nbsp; The Canadian Paediatric Society says, "For the first 6 months, the safest place for your baby to sleep is on their back, in a crib, cradle, or bassinet that is in your room (room sharing)." &nbsp; &nbsp; There are two main ideas about co-sleeping. One focuses on the medical risks, like choking or sudden infant death syndrome. The other supports co-sleeping for breastfeeding and cultural values. Both ideas exist, making the choice of how to sleep with a baby in the early months challenging for parents.&nbsp;
According to scientific studies co-sleeping promotes breastfeeding during the night. But it&rsquo;s hard to say whether it&rsquo;s breastfeeding that favours this practice or whether it&rsquo;s the other way around. In any case, breastfeeding is the main reason why mothers choose shared-surface co-sleeping.
Nevertheless, there was no difference found between nighttime breastfeeding and the two forms of co-sleeping. In simple words, sleeping in the same room is equally supportive of breastfeeding as sharing the same surface during sleep. After all it&rsquo;s a family choice that you should make with your partner or decide according to your baby's needs.

Long Covid's impact on daily activities of patients was worse than for stroke patients, as per research by UK experts.

Long Covid worse than cancer in hurting quality of life, says study

Long Covid's impact on daily activities of patients was worse than for stroke patients, as per research by UK experts.

People suffering from Long Covid have a lower quality of life regarding health than patients of some advanced cancers, according to a study conducted in the United Kingdom.
Health-related quality of life scores of Long Covid patients were lower than those of people with advanced metastatic cancers, like stage 4 lung cancer, as per a Guardian report quoting the study.
The impact of Long Covid on daily activities of patients was worse than for stroke patients and similar to people with Parkinson's disease, as per research by University College London and the University of Exeter.
Co-author of the study Prof William Henley said that Long Covid can leave people with worse fatigue than cancer, but support and understanding is not at the same level.

It's important to note that it can be challenging to meet vitamin D needs through diet alone, especially during winter or for individuals with limited sun exposure. 

How much vitamin D do you need in winters? Know what experts recommend to suffice the need

It's important to note that it can be challenging to meet vitamin D needs through diet alone, especially during winter or for individuals with limited sun exposure.

Recent research at 2023 American Heart Association&rsquo;s Scientific Sessions conference proposes that the recommended dietary allowance of vitamin D in individuals is insufficient to attain optimal levels, particularly for people with heart issues. &nbsp;
Experts suggest the amount of vitamin D during winters can vary based on factors such as age, sex, health status, and individual needs. However, general guidelines suggest that adults need around 600 to 800 international units (IU) of vitamin D per day.
It's important to note that sunlight exposure also contributes to vitamin D synthesis in the skin, but during winter months or for those with limited sun exposure, dietary sources and supplements may be necessary to meet recommended levels. In that case, always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice for supplements you may take or the change in nutrition you must adapt to suffice the need of vitamin D in your body.&nbsp;
<h3>Foods that help in combating vitamin D deficiency in body:&nbsp;</h3>
Fatty Fish: Salmon, mackerel, sardines, and trout are rich sources of vitamin D.
Cod Liver Oil: A potent source of vitamin D, cod liver oil is available in supplement form.
Egg Yolks: Eggs, particularly the yolks, contain vitamin D. Keep in mind that the amount can vary based on the chicken's diet.
Mushrooms: Some varieties of mushrooms, like maitake and shiitake, can provide a small amount of vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.
Fortified Foods: Many foods, such as milk, orange juice, and breakfast cereals, are fortified with vitamin D. Check the labels for added nutrients. Cheese: Certain types of cheese, like Swiss and cheddar, contain small amounts of vitamin D.
Tofu and Soy Milk: Some plant-based products, when fortified, can be good sources of vitamin D.

Wondering when is the best time for breakfast and what is the ideal first meal of the day? Here is what experts say!

What is the perfect time to have breakfast and why it is the most important meal of the day

Wondering when is the best time for breakfast and what is the ideal first meal of the day? Here is what experts say!

Timing is super important and more so when it comes to the first meal of the day. Breakfast is the most supreme meal of the day and there are no two ways. What you eat and when you eat breakfast, determines your metabolism, productivity and even your blood sugar.
According to experts, one should consume breakfast within one hour of waking up which helps keep the metabolism high and prevents muscle loss. It also prevents you from getting midday cravings, which in turn helps with weight management.
<h3>What constitutes a perfect breakfast?</h3>
So, what constitutes a perfect breakfast? According to experts, a perfect breakfast includes a good balance of proteins such as eggs, paneer, low-fat yoghurt, low GI carbs, healthy fat and fibres. You can opt for a simple meal of egg /chicken/paneer sandwich with carrot sticks or you can go for a bowl of upma or oats and combine it with a sunny side up. Alternatively, you can choose red rice poha, protein powder and nuts such as almonds and walnuts, for a balanced meal.
<h3>What not to include in breakfast?</h3>
However, one must ensure to not indulge in processed or packaged food including fruit juices with high sugar content. Consuming coffee on an empty stomach is not the best idea and one must definitely avoid simple carbs like rice and maida. Instead of sugary juices, switch to vegetarian smoothies for a much healthier experience.
